ATMOS 6240 - Land-Atmosphere Interactions

The land and atmosphere interact in different ways, at various timescales, to affect the climate, weather, and air quality. This course will examine how the atmosphere impacts fluxes of water, carbon, and other pollutants and, in turn, how these fluxes affect the atmosphere. The course combines lectures, computer labs, and perusal of the primary literature to arrive at a multi-faceted understanding of land-atmosphere interactions.
